ADVICE | FRIENDS | DEAR CAROL FRIENDS

My friends are using me!

 
My two so-called friends came over and hadn’t been in my house more than 10 minutes when they asked, “Can we go in your hot tub?” I asked my mom if it was OK, and she said something I had never thought about. She asked me if they were actually my friends or if they were just using me. Then I realized it was true—they were just using me so they could use my hot tub. This makes me feel so sad and lonely.

 

Dear School Is One Big Popularity Contest,

School is one big popularity contest only if you choose to buy into all that. So try not to. If these girls are never nice to you except when they want to have a soak, that stinks. But if you hang out with them sometimes outside of the hot tub, that’s OK if they wanna hit the tub now and then.

 

Think about all this before totally writing them off, but take advantage of the new school year to get to know different girls, too. Is there someone you can be yourself with and laugh with and confide in? She’s a keeper. And while it is possible to have dozens and dozens of very close friends, it is ideal to have many different friends along with a handful of true-blue ones.

I like a boy and I dont know how to start what should I do?

 

Hey girlie!

Try to talk to him and see if he's interested. Sometimes it helps to start a conversation from what you two do together, such as a class, sports, and so on, and become friends and then maybe asking him out on a date. <3

Me and my family are moving to the city next month.Im really excited to make friends in my building since there will be kids my age there.But,im really shy and quiet.Not so much of shy but observant of who im hanging out with.I dont have to worry about school since im homeschooled.With that I haven talked to kids MY age in almost 3 years.Since I havent been to a regular school since 4th grade and now im in the 8th.
So what should I do? Its hard for me to say hi to someone when I just met them as odd as it sounds,I've always been like that.Should I just ignore that and say hi? Any advice whatso ever will do,thanks!!!!

 

hey girl! sayin things like "its hard for me to say hi to someone" bla bla bla is nonsense! change up your thinkin to "it has been hard for me in the past to say hi to someone!" this is your chance to start new and fresh! throw your shyness out the window and go into all your encounters with kids with a positive attitude. think to yourself "this is goin to go well!" and guess what? it probs will!! good luck! xo, Erin M.

Soo my bestie has a few friends who are constantly causing problem (backstabbing, lying, making fun, etc) and she comes crying to me. I tell her me and her shouldn't hang out with them anymore and she always says I'm right. Finally she stopped hanging out with them. But now recently she has started hanging out with them again! I try not to get frustrated but I honestly have no idea what to do!

 

hey chica!  It is hard to stop being friends with someone cold turkey.  It takes time to get used to. There isn't anything you can do.  Sometimes we just need to let our friends learn their own lessons.  Next time that group of friends does something to her, let her make her own decisions and see what she does.  If she wants to stay friends with them, that is her decision, it doesn't mean you have to also.

I Told the teacher but she DIDN'T CARE (Its True she wouldn't listen to me ) Im so Annoyed and i feel like i don't belong!! Is it just me or idk can u help me Please!

 

 If people are going to continue to be this mean to you you need to tell your parents and the principle that you are being bullied. Bullying is a very serious issue and you need to get adults involved in the situation. No one should be touching you at all, ever.
